Matt Rhule to Waco

Postby RGV Pony » Tue Dec 06, 2016 11:41 am

Curious to hear what the Temple poster on here has to say.

I'm as suprised as he is.

At least they got their 4th AAC option!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

In all seriousness, not a bad hire for the Bears IMO - about as good (or better) as they could've hoped for or even deserve. Time to finally implement the Rhule of law in that godforsaken program.

Does Temple go back to Al Golden?

I wonder how well he's going to recruit Texas

He's a damn good coach. But this is a weird hire. Has only coached on the coasts and his offensive system is polar opposite of what they've run under Briles.

This one doesn't make much sense to me.

Good coach but super tied in with east coast and no Texas connections I know of -- which will make assembling a class for 17 pretty hard I would think.

Yes, I was also stunned. I hope he is getting over $20 million because it is pretty much career suicide, but then again Scott Drew took over the basketball program under more dire circumstances without any history of success and has had amazing success.

If I'm Temple my top two candidates are Al Golden and Greg Schiano.

I looked. He never signed a single Texas player while at Temple.

It's going to be rough for Rhule for sure. I hope he scored a lot of payola from those people.

I find it ironic they hired a Penn St.grad.

What type of salary was he getting at Temple-not listed in database I looked at because Temple is a private school. If I had to guess I would think Temple didn't have the type of alumni supplement to be competitive. He's a great Coach but I'm generally not in favor of hiring coaches outside their recruiting footprint.

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
